"alright. phase one begins now."

donghyuck calls for an uber and anxiously waits.

"what if renjun messes up?"

"what if i mess up?"

"what if somebody recognizes renjun and calls him renjun?"

donghyuck goes over every possible scenario in his head.

suddenly, the uber pulls into the parking lot and he hops in.

he gives the driver an address to go to.

as he looks out the window he thinks more and more about what he's doing.

"maybe if i wasn't such a coward i wouldn't be in this position right now..."

"what'd you say?" the driver looks up into the mirror and makes eye contact with donghyuck.

"nothing, sorry."

an awkward silence fills the car.

"it's just i kinda like my bestfriend and i'm pretty sure he doesn't like me back so i decided to make a fake name and fake account to message him on so we could talk from a different view point like... not as bestfriends ya know and then he asked for a picture of me so i kinda freaked out and just sent him a picture of my friend who has 2 boyfriends who're probably so mad at me because now i'm going on a lunch date with their boyfriend and my bestfriend and their boyfriend has to pretend to flirt with me because i'm curious as to whether or not my bestfriend will get jealous but in all honesty he probably won't because he's probably just a straight boy who just likes me as nothing more than a bestfriend and honestly i don't know why i'm like this i'm kinda freaking out because can you imagine if he finds out that i'm lying like how would i even explain that to somebody and i-"

"breathe."

"sorry i'm just really freaking out back here"

"well, my only advice for you is to just go through with it and hope that nothing bad goes wrong."

"just don't be visibly nervous."

"thanks uber driver guy."

"my name is taeil, and you're welcome."

the car pulls into the driveway of a house and a tiny boy comes walking outside.

standing next to him are two boys on both sides who're practically glued to him.

they do a little group hug and he runs to the car.

"hey haechan!"

"hello donghyuck."

"thanks again. and sorry."

"no problem bud, we just need to make sure nothing goes wrong."
